The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

Apology offered

I must ask, when did it become appropriate for an elected official, in a public hearing to proclaim, “I’m not going to get into a pi__ing contest with you?” Although not offensive, the statement was very unprofessional and very rude.

Therefore, I would like to offer an apology to Appellant, Mrs. Hamp and the entire Board of Equalization (BOE) for the behavior of County Assessor, Mr. Bill Coons.
